Zebra’s Z-Band® direct thermal wristbands allow you to print patient information and bar codes directly on the wristbands, so there is no need for labels and the time-consuming wristband assembly inherent to laser technology. In addition, Zebra’s Z-Band direct thermal wristbands: • Feature a silver antimicrobial coating that protects the wristband. • Are scannable for up to 14 days, promoting quality patient care and safety. • Are quick and easy for staff to print and securely fasten in less than a minute using an adhesive tab or color clip. • Were tested by an independent MRI testing company and were determined “MR-Safe” (MR Safe—an item that poses no known hazards in all MRI environments) according to the terminology specified in the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) International, Designation: F2503-08: Standard Practice for Marking Medical Devices and Other Items for Safety in the Magnetic Resonance Environment. These wristbands do not appear to present an additional hazard or risk to a patient undergoing an MRI procedure. A bar code that fails to scan or requires repeated attempts to scan jeopardizes patient safety and staff productivity. Zebra’s supplies research and development team tested the image durability of Z-Band direct thermal wristbands to ensure optimum image durability and scanning performance when subjected to common solvents found in hospitals including 91% Isopropyl Alcohol, 70% Ethyl Rubbing Alcohol, Betadine and hand sanitizer, as well as abrasion and water.
